@izzion To be fair, doesn't reading from another process's private memory space basically require the highest level of permissions? If malicious code is running at that level, then I'd think the machine is compromised beyond any possible attempt to try to secure it by scrubbing memory.

I dunno, if Mama Westen can dump the entire contents of a police detective's RAM with a can of compressed air and a cigarette, it probably means we should all throw our computers out and go back to living in grass huts

Not "highest" (i.e. System) but elevated rights, certainly.

Yeah, that is definitely a case of "on the other side of the airtight hatchway". There's nothing a process can do to protect itself from a compromised OS.

@Gribnit Precisely. I have won.

You have, you've found a specific exception to a generally true overstatement. This is why you're an idiot manchild, by the way, this isn't disproof of being an idiot manchild - this exact behavior is what makes you an idiot manchild. If you're interested in the fact that there are conferences for basically everything, I'd be surprised.
Edit: I shouldn't be so harsh. You remind me of my six year old declaring a race when he gets out of the car and then declaring he won when he gets to the door.

Why would apartment owners and managers not conference to discuss their interests, as other business and industry groups do? What would you call such a conference? You could call them "apartment owners' and managers' conferences," but that's wordy, and the meaning is conveyed well enough for most people by the phrase "apartment conferences."

Especially since a large (and increasing) percentage of all apartment complexes are managed by professional apartment management firms, even if they're owned by individuals or small groups. Apartment management is more like HR (and just as evil) these days.

It looks OK to me once I zoom in to 150%, but at lower zooms it's crap just like @hungrier's screen shot.

@DCoder While the technical problem is indeed a funny one, I have some trouble imagining what a "buttplug workshop" with "20 people having 20 dildo in the same room" is.
"Hi, my name is Kyle and today we're going to have a look at how to use a buttplug. I see you've already all taken off your clothes, now lie down and..."
Really????

It's a surprisingly common issue with any use-case that doesn't have just one phone + one headset.
Two examples of products that I've had the (mis?)fortune to take part in the development of:
- The first one was trying to replace cables for sensors, in a sector that I can't tell you so I don't get sued for infringing NDAs. Anyway, approximately 5-6 sensors per subject, and about 30-40 per room in total. Each sensor was supposed to be wirelessly paired to a HUB, of which there were one per subject. However, there was also a need to change batteries without removing the sensors, and maybe pair the sensors to a different HUB without removing them from the subject. So, the sensor part and the radio-battery-display combo were separated, and the battery-radio thingy became the one to be paired to the HUB. Oh, yes, and the whole pairing should be done without typing anything (neither device had keyboard).
The solution: each battery-radio-display unit got an NFC tag, and the HUBs got an NFC reader.
Of course, one PHB had just learned of the miracle of RFID, and so was trying to make us use those instead. Bad idea when all devices are within 10ft (3m) of each other, but it took a few meetings to shoot the idea down. I moved to greener pastures before the product went to market, so I don't know how well the concept worked in Real Life(tm).
- A product for an industrial field (that I again can't reveal since it's a niche), connected as a network with an industrial fieldbus.
Problem: It needs an address and some parameters to be set, and we can't waste money on a display or something. And customers don't like separate configuration tools that they'd need to buy.
Solution: let's embed ESP8266 to each device. Each forms a WiFi. Configuration UI in HTML. Yay.
Current problem: Factory may need to configure and test 20 devices at a time. 20 ESPs in the same room fight for airspace. Only way to get a reliable connection to some is to take them out of the range of the herd.
Edit:
added "of products ... development of"

Understandable. But taking a wild guess I get the impression it might have involved lasers. And tagging.

@Zecc Not quite. Imagine smaller rooms and un-moving people. But don't mention it out loud.
Edit:
P.S. And some beeping too.

@Luhmann That really doesn't help either way. Who would get with 19 other people (plus an instructor) into a room to play with their buttplug, IoT or not?
Oh wait, actually it does help. If they're dumb enough to buy an IoT buttplug, then they might be dumb enough to get with 19 other people (plus an instructor) into a room to play with it.
